473ml can, part of the mixed 8-packs currently available in Alberta. 'Orbit' hops are a new one for me, and I now see that they are actually a blend of New Zealand-grown hops, rather than a single varietal. Anyways.
This beer pours a slightly hazy, pale golden yellow colour, with four fingers of puffy, rocky, and somewhat fizzy off-white head, which leaves some decent splotchy and sudsy lace around the glass as it slowly but surely evaporates.
It smells of gritty and grainy cereal malt, a mild green dankness, some wet minerality, a bit of white wine fruitiness, and more earthy, weedy, and floral hop bitters. The taste is bready and crackery pale malt, muddled tropical fruity notes, stone paths after a hard rain, and some plain weedy, herbal, and piney verdant hoppiness.
The carbonation is fairly active in its palate-probing frothiness, the body a so-so medium weight, and generally smooth, with a weak airy creaminess evolving once things warm up a tad around here. It finishes off-dry, the mixed fruit essences trumping the malt in their lingering tango.
Overall - this is a pleasant enough rendition of the sub-style of IPA, with the usual problem (the mouthfeel) not really a concern. Nicely hoppy without being too bitter, and easier to put back than to find things to say about it, if you know what I mean.

Creamy trailers over dark gold. 4
Dank + mango, with some Golden Grahams. 3.75
Tiny toffee crisp, underripe papaya, a bit of white grape spice, a whack of grass, and big IBUs. 3.5
Thin, light, no oil. 3.5
Galaxy, Orbit + NS
Watery + bitter. For these hops, low aroma. Lots of better examples of this style even just in B.C. ps: “Orbit” is a blend, not a hop! 3.5
